Bienvenue!
This blog is dedicated to providing information and opinions about why uranium mining in West Quebec (and anywhere else for that matter) is a bad idea and to serve as a resource to those opposing such activity. It also serves as a repository of my research into this issue.
Please spread the word - send the link to this blog to everyone you think would be interested in protecting the environment, health and posterity of West Quebec and the Ottawa/Gatineau River watersheds.
Press reports have indicated that mining exploration for uranium in West Quebec has become very active recently, and this poses a major environmental and health threat to the region.
Those of us in the West Quebec watershed region (including Gatineau and Ottawa) should recognize that if a uranium mine is started up in West Quebec, it will almost certainly have serious and long-lasting negative repercussions far beyond the immediate mine site.
It is due to the high risk of negative impacts that we have developed this blog.

We are a community group that works to protect our human, environmental, and economic health from the risks associated with uranium. Our goal is to obtain a permanent moratorium on uranium exploration, mining, and processing in MRC du Pontiac and MRC des Collines de l'Outaouais. To meet this goal our group advocates, educates, and builds coalitions.
Nous sommes un groupe communautaire travaillant à la protection de la santé humaine, environnementale et économique des risques associés à l'uranium. Notre objectif principal est d'obtenir un moratoire à long terme sur l'exploration et l'exploitation d'uranium dans la MRC du Pontiac et dans la MRC des Collines de l'Outaouais. Afin d'y parvenir, notre groupe défend, éduque et bâtit des coalitions.
